I disagree. Once you get a taste for networks (there's about 30~40 that come up regularly) you can pretty much nail a fresh review without even visiting the site. For instance - I can tell you the update schedule, the video lengths, resolutions and bitrates, image sizes, accessibility (ZIP/DRM) options, archive size, content type, bonus sites, navigation options and much, much more about a number of sites that are considered 'the best' (We Live Together, Bang Bus, In The Crack, etc.).

The difference between a movie critic and porn site reviewer is simple - a porn site reviewer pretty much has to sell you the site. Sure, there are some cases where you just can't recommend a join, but more often than not, you're only going to mention the good elements of a site and avoid talking about anything negative. Some shit just doesn't get mentioned in the word count either, I mean seriously - what sort of a surfer wants to know what processors he can join through?

Video resolutions, update schedules, content quality, bonus sites and archive sizes are pretty much the meat of any review. Some projects I've worked on require 10 reviews written per day - do you really think it's possible for me to sit down for 16+ hours and look at porn objectively?

Adult reviews are there for a reader to skim over and assure himself that joining a porn site is okay. The actual meat and guts of the site don't matter to most porn surfers, as they'll take one look at the tour and decide there and then if they like the look of it. Sure, some want to know if ZIP files are inside or if the videos are 720p, but more often than not, you're going to find that a good porn review uses informal, first person language and assures the reader that the site he's reading a review for is worth the 30 bucks.
